Yoga Village. A studio like the ones we like: calm, luminous, happy, welcoming. Steps away from Opéra and the main thoroughfares, this haven of peace overlooks the boulevard des Capucines, in the center of a neighborhood that buzzes with activity. As soon as you sit on your mat, the world outside evaporates: annoying projects, traffic jams, problems with the super’s wife, fires (oh yeah, once during Marc Holzman’s class, we were treated to a show of fire, smoke, firefighters…)—everything that would normally make us plunge into the despair of Parisian life—doesn’t touch us. We float… Anne-Gaëlle’s soft voice rocking us during a Yin class, Benoît’s bilingual flow encourages us through a dynamic session. You feel good when you cross the threshold of the studio, during sessions and of course afterward.
